Before the flowers are in full blossom, here is a collection of ancient Chinese poems picturing the revival of life during spring. The English translations used in this article are from Chinese translator Xu Yuanchong’s editions. Spring Morning — by Meng Haoran (689-740) of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) This spring morning in bed I’m lying, Not to awake till birds are crying. After one night of wind and showers, How many are the fallen flowers? Written in a Village South of the Capital — by Cui Hu (772-846) of the Tang Dynasty In this house on this day last year, a pink face vied In beauty with the pink peach blossoms side by side. I do not know today where the pink face has gone; In the vernal breeze still smile pink peach blossoms full-blown. Happy Rain on a Spring Night (Excerpts) — by Du Fu (712-770) of the Tang Dynasty Good rain knows its time right; It will fall when comes spring. With wind it steals in night; Mute, it moistens each thing. Dreaming of the Southern Shore — by Bai Juyi (772-846) of the Tang Dynasty Fair Southern shore, With scenes I adore. At sunrise riverside flowers redder than fire, In spring green waves grow as blue as sapphire, Which I can’t but admire. Love Seeds — by Wang Wei (701-761) of the Tang Dynasty Red berries grow in the southern land, How many load in spring the trees? Gather them till full is your hand; They would revive fond memories. 21. What can we learn about the poets? A. Meng Haoran lived longer than other poets. B. Both Cui Hu and Bai Juyi died at the same age. C. All of the poets were not from the Tang Dynasty. D. Cui Hu wrote a poem highlighting the color green. 22. Which one of the poems mentions the scene along a river? A. Love Seeds. B. Happy Rain on a Spring Night. C. Dreaming of the Southern Shore. D. Written in a Village South of the Capital. 23. Which season are the poems probably talking about? A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Autumn. D. Winter. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了五首关于春天的古诗词。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二首诗“Written in a Village South of the Capital-by Cui Hu (772-846) of the Tang Dynasty(唐人崔护(772-846)写于京城南村)”以及第四首诗“Dreaming of the Southern Shore-by Bai Juyi (772-846) of the Tang Dynasty(唐人白居易(772-846)的《忆江南》)”可知，B项正确；根据第一首诗“Spring Morning-by Meng Haoran (689-740) of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) (《春晓》孟浩然（689-740）)”可知，孟浩然只活了51岁，而根据其他几首诗中关于诗人生平的介绍可知，崔护、杜甫、白居易和王维分别活了74岁、58岁、74岁和60岁，因此A项孟浩然比其他诗人活得久是错误的；C项为部分否定句，应把not去掉；D项应把green改为pink。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四首诗“Dreaming of the Southern Shore-by Bai Juyi (《忆江南》白居易)”的“At sunrise riverside flowers redder than fire. In spring green waves grow as blue as sapphire (日出江花红胜火，春来江水绿如蓝)”可知，这首诗描写了沿河的风景。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据标题“Five Ancient Chinese Poems about Spring (五首关于春天的古诗)”、第一段中“Before the flowers are in full blossom, here is a collection of ancient Chinese poems picturing the revival of life during spring.(在鲜花盛开之前，这里有一本中国古诗词集，描绘了春天生命的复苏)”以及诗歌的内容可知，这些诗是描写春天的。故选A。 B Emily, a 14-year-old teenager, walked through her town one afternoon. Her eyes were drawn to the sight of people without homes on street corners, trembling (颤抖) against the chill. It was a scene that stirred something deep within her — a desire to make a difference, no matter how small. Emily decided to turn her love of baking into a force for good. She whipped (搅打) cream, mixed flour, and baked cookies and cakes in her family kitchen. With the support of her friends and family, she set up a colorful stall in her bustling neighborhood, offering her homemade treats to passersby in exchange for donations. The response was overwhelming. People were not only touched by Emily's handmade cookies but also inspired by her spirit. Before long, donations were pouring in. In just a few short weeks, Emily had raised over $1,000 — a symbol of one's kindness to ignite a community's generosity. But Emily's heart was set on doing even more. Inspired by the success of her bake sale, she came up with the idea of organizing a charity run. A community-wide event that would bring people together in support of a common cause. She reached out to local businesses and called for volunteers to help her realize the project. On the day of the charity run, participants ran under the clear, open sky, and the running campaign raised over $5,000 for the local homeless shelter. For Emily, the true reward lay not in the dollars raised or the miles run but in the knowledge that she had touched the hearts of her community and shown that even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference to the world. 24. What can we learn from the text? A. Emily offered the homeless treats for free. B. Emily raised $5,000 from her bake sale. C. Emily received support from local businesses. D. Emily's charity run was held in an indoor gym. 25. What motivated Emily to organize a charity run? A. The success of her bakery sale. B. The inspiration from her family. C. The encouragement from her neighbors. D. Her passion for running. 26. Which of the following can best describe Emily? A. Kind and active. B. Energetic and creative. C. Smart and ambitious. D. Happy and generous. 27. What is the best title of the text? A. Community Together: Many Hands, Light Work B. Sweet Victory: Emily's Bake Sale Success C. Light in Darkness: Emily's Run to Help D. Spreading Goodness: Emily's Charitable Acts 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，讲述了 14 岁的少女艾米莉为帮助无家可归者所做的努力，包括举办烘焙义卖和组织慈善跑步活动等。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“She reached out to local businesses and called for volunteers to help her realize the project.（她联系当地企业并呼吁志愿者帮助她实现这个项目。）”可知，艾米莉得到了当地企业的支持，故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Inspired by the success of her bake sale, she came up with the idea of organizing a charity run.（受到烘焙义卖成功的启发，她想出了组织慈善跑步的主意。）”可知，是烘焙义卖的成功激励她组织慈善跑步，故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Her eyes were drawn to the sight of people without homes on street corners, trembling(颤抖) against the chill. It was a scene that stirred something deep within her—a desire to make a difference, no matter how small.(她的目光被街角无家可归者的景象所吸引，他们在寒风中颤抖。这一幕深深触动了她——无论多么小的改变，她都渴望去做。)”和第二段“Emily decided to turn her love of baking into a force for good.(Emily决定将她对烘焙的热爱转化为做善事的力量。)”以及第四段“On the day of the charity run, participants ran under the clear, open sky, and the running campaign raised over $5,000 for the local homeless shelter.(在慈善跑那天，参与者在晴朗开阔的天空下奔跑，跑步活动为当地的流浪者收容所筹集了超过5000美元。)”可知，Emily是一个善良且积极行动的人，故选A项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Her eyes were drawn to the sight of people without homes on street corners, trembling(颤抖) against the chill. It was a scene that stirred something deep within her—a desire to make a difference, no matter how small.( 她的目光被那些无家可归的人所吸引，他们站在街角，在寒风中颤抖。这一场景唤醒了她内心深处的某种东西——一种无论多么微小，也要做出改变的渴望。)”、第三段“The response was overwhelming. People were not only touched by Emily's handmade cookies but also inspired by her spirit.( 反响非常热烈。人们不仅被艾米丽的手工饼干所打动，还受到了她精神的鼓舞)”以及最后一段“For Emily, the true reward lay not in the dollars raised or the miles run but in the knowledge that she had touched the hearts of her community and shown that even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference to the world.( 对艾米丽来说，真正的奖励不在于筹集了多少钱，也不在于跑了多少英里，而在于她知道自己触动了社区人民的心，并展示了即使是再小的善举也能改变世界)”可知，全文主要讲述了艾米莉的一系列慈善行为，D 选项“传播善良：艾米莉的慈善行为”最能概括文章主旨，故选D项。 C Most people suffer from “just-me-ism”. What is that? Well, say you leave the tap running while brushing your teeth, or you drop a piece of litter and can ’t be bothered to pick it up. You know all those things are wrong, but so what? “What difference can it possibly make?” you say to yourself. “There are millions of people in the world and I’m just me.” But just think of all the millions of people saying to themselves, “It doesn’t matter, it’s just me.” Millions of gallons of water would be wasted; millions of pieces of litter would be dropped. And all of this would be very harmful. To inspire young people to take action for the environment, animals and their community, Roots & Shoots was established in the early 1990s by Dr. Jane Goodall, a world’s well-known environmental scientist. Besides her research, she has been whole-heartedly committed to environmental protection. The organisation is called Roots & Shoots because roots move slowly under the ground to make a firm foundation, and shoots seem small and weak, but they can break open brick walls to reach the light. The roots and shoots are you, your friends and young people all around the world. Hundreds and thousands of roots and shoots can solve the problems, change the world and make it a better place to live in. Do you think you help to make the world a better place when you make a sad person smile, when you make a dog wag its tail, and when you water a thirsty plant? One cheered-up person, one happy dog, one flowering plant, and you. That’s what Roots & Shoots is all about. Dr.Jane Goodall believes that the most important thing is that every individual matters. You get to choose: Do you want to make the world a better place? Do you want to make Roots & Shoots rooted in everyone’s heart? Do you want to be part of a community for a shared future? You cannot be absent. 28. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The reasons for “just-me-ism”. B. The negative effects of “just-me-ism”. C. The definition of “just-me-ism”. D. The sufferings of people with “just-me-ism”. 29. How does Roots & Shoots help protect the environment? A. By appealing for experts’ devotion. B. By explaining the origin of the organization. C. By enhancing young people’s academic skills. D. By motivating the youth to make a difference. 30. Why does the author give the examples in the last paragraph? A. To illustrate the value of each individual. B. To demonstrate the significance of teamwork. C. To make a comment about some acts of kindness. D. To inspire young people to reflect on wrongdoings. 31. What does the author suggest people do? A. Join Roots & Shoots. B. Break open walls. C. Resolve world issues. D. Pull their own weight. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人们常有的“唯我主义”心态，认为个人的小动作对世界微乎其微。然而文章通过Roots & Shoots组织的创立强调了每个人都很重要，鼓励年轻人为了环境、动物和社区采取行动。文章最后提出，每个人的小善举都能让世界变得更美好，呼吁大家积极参与，共同创造一个美好的未来。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“But just think of all the millions of people saying to themselves, “It doesn’t matter, it’s just me.” Millions of gallons of water would be wasted; millions of pieces of litter would be dropped. And all of this would be very harmful.”（但想想那些成千上万的人对自己说：“没关系，只有我这样。”数百万加仑的水将被浪费；数以百万计的垃圾将被丢弃。所有这些都是非常有害的。）可知，第一段主要讲的是“唯我主义”的负面影响。故选B项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“To inspire young people to take action for the environment, animals and their community, Roots & Shoots was established in the early 1990s by Dr. Jane Goodall, a world’s well-known environmental scientist. Besides her research, she has been whole-heartedly committed to environmental protection.”（为了激励年轻人为环境、动物和他们的社区采取行动，Roots & Shoots组织由世界知名环境科学家简·古道尔博士于20世纪90年代初创立。在科研之余，她一直致力于环境保护事业。）可推知，Roots & Shoots通过激励年轻人做出改变来帮助保护环境。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“One cheered-up person, one happy dog, one flowering plant, and you. That’s what Roots & Shoots is all about. Dr.Jane Goodall believes that the most important thing is that every individual matters.”（一个快乐的人，一只快乐的狗，一株开花的植物，还有你。这就是“Roots & Shoots”的宗旨。简·古道尔博士认为，最重要的是每个人都很重要。）可推知，作者在最后一段给出了这些例子是为了说明每个人的价值。故选A项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“You get to choose: Do you want to make the world a better place? Do you want to make Roots & Shoots rooted in everyone’s heart? Do you want to be part of a community for a shared future? You cannot be absent.”（你可以选择：你想让世界变得更美好吗？你想让Roots & Shoots在每个人心中扎根吗？你想成为命运共同体的一份子吗？你不能缺席。）可推知，作者建议人们加入Roots & Shoots。故选A项。 D An obstacle usually refers to a difficulty or problem that prevents you from achieving something. Whether it was in your past, or you’re presently facing an obstacle, you have to resolve it. Some people avoid obstacles or deny their existence. Others let obstacles control them, and they feel defeated. Your attitude towards obstacles will define the outcome of whether you rise from the challenge, or remain stuck in it. Here are some more great things to love about obstacles. First, obstacles give you purposes. Sometimes obstacles can reset your goals. You might have always had a particular way of doing things, or wanted to pursue certain goals; but when you’re faced with setbacks or difficulties, you’re forced to re-think, and re-examine your path. You may end up focusing on something new and exciting. Or, you may concentrate on something that you otherwise wouldn’t have if not for the particular setback. By having to overcome an obstacle, you’ll be fulfilling a purpose, rather than just going through the motions. Second, obstacles prepare you for the unexpected. Obstacles serve as guides for where to go next. Even though obstacles can bring out many negative emotions in us, such as frustration, anger, or sadness, it’s important to realize that they don’t stop you from reaching your intended goals. Instead, they, in a way, give you time to stop and think if perhaps there is a new and better path to take and what you can prepare for what will happen along the way. Obstacles shift your perspective. Obstacles whether you like them or not are unavoidable. Life will never stop throwing you new obstacles. So, the best thing to do is know how to better see and address these obstacles, and transform them into opportunities for self-improvement. The more you’re able to see obstacles as being an advantage to your life, the better you’ll be at managing them. Accepting obstacles will be rewarding. It will make you constantly change and adapt to new situations, allowing you to grow into a better version of yourself. 32. What does the word “obstacle” in the passage probably mean? A. passion. B. adversity. C. reputation. D. expedition. 33. What determines the outcome of obstacles you face? A. Your own attitude. B. Your quick adaptation. C. Your adequate preparation. D. Your optimistic perseverance. 34. How would obstacles result in benefits? A. They prevent your negative emotions. B. They give you advantages over others. C. They make you think quickly and critically. D. They allow you to view things from new angles. 35. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Avoiding obstacles does harm to life. B. Loving obstacles benefits a lot. C. Obstacles are actually unavoidable. D. Obstacles are double-edged swords. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文是一篇议论文。阐述的主要观点为：以积极的态度对待人生中的障碍，因为它们有益于人的成长和提升。 32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据首段首句“An obstacle usually refers to a difficulty or problem that prevents you from achieving something. (障碍通常指的是阻碍你实现某事的困难或问题。)”可知，文章里“obstacle”指的是阻碍你实现某事的困难或问题。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据首段倒数第二句“Your attitude towards obstacles will define the outcome of whether you rise from the challenge, or remain stuck in it. (你对待障碍的态度将决定你是从挑战中崛起，还是陷入困境。)”可知，你的态度决定你面对障碍的结果。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句“Instead, they, in a way, give you time to stop and think if perhaps there is a new and better path to take and what you can prepare for what will happen along the way. Obstacles shift your perspective. (相反，在某种程度上，它们会给你时间停下来思考是否有一条新的更好的道路可以走，以及你可以为沿途发生的事情做些什么准备。障碍会改变你的观点。)”可知，障碍让你从新的角度看待事物，从而带来好处。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段末句“Here are some more great things to love about obstacles. (这里是一些关于热爱障碍带来更多的好事。)”可知，热爱障碍会让你受益匪浅。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What is Earth Day?

It’s a day to celebrate, praise and notice Mother Earth.(什么是地球日？这是一个庆祝、赞美和关注地球母亲的日子)”推知，空处可能陈述在这一天人们应该做什么，故G选项“记住她是谁，她做了什么，她给予了什么”符合语境，故选G。 【37题详解】 根据后文“Soak up the sunlight.

Then celebrate her.(请注意到处都是令人惊叹的鲜花、灌木、青草和树木。呼吸他们的气味。注意鸟儿、昆虫和松鼠的唧唧声、嗡嗡声和咔哒声。他们在说什么?注意颜色——每一种颜色的每一种深浅，每一个地方。你好，大自然!我看见你了！大声说出来。然后试着去了解生命的多样性。试着想象一下大自然母亲是什么，大自然母亲拥有什么，大自然母亲为我们做了什么。真正试着去理解——伸手、弯腰、伸展，直到你的心和大脑张开。那就为她庆祝吧)”可知，本句主要是建议调动感觉来感受周围的事物。故F选项“调动你所有的感官，注意你经常忽略的东西”符合语境，故选F。 【39题详解】 根据后文“Pick up rubbish; plant a garden; feed the birds; remove a fence; let a weed grow.(捡起垃圾；种植一个花园；喂鸟；拆除栅栏；让杂草生长)”可知，本句主要是在建议用具体的行动来感谢地球母亲。故D选项“以行动的承诺来纪念她”符合语境，故选D。 【40题详解】 根据后文“Wish Mother Earth a happy Earth Day and make a promise that when people ask when Earth Day is, you will answer, “Every day!”(祝地球母亲地球日快乐，并承诺当人们问地球日是什么时候时，你会回答：“每天!”)”可知，后文提到了祝地球母亲地球日快乐，说明要表达自己的感激之情。故B选项“让她知道你很感激她”符合语境，故选B。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Steph Morris is a talented UK artist who specializes in hyper-realistic drawings of sneakers (运动鞋).

I found that between classes, there were few students chatting or playing. It seemed that every student was buried in books and did exercises on and on. I knew the exam was drawing near and every student was preparing for it. Some of them even took books to the dining hall and there were others staying up studying. It was obvious that students took the exam seriously. However, John, a top student in the class, wasn't among them. He used to work harder than anyone. Now, he was not only late for class but it was also typical of him to sleep in class. When I checked his exercise books, I found all blank（空白的）. I wondered what's wrong with him. So I called him out and asked him if he had trouble with his study. He bit his lip, lowered his head but explained nothing. With puzzles increasing, I called his friend Mike into the office. Mike knew nothing about why his friend behaved so strangely. He also told me that John would be the first student to rush out of the classroom after school and refused to wait for him. And even when Mike invited John for their favorite football on weekend, John refused, saying he was busy, and hung off quickly. When I asked about John's family, Mike told me that John lived with his grandmother because his parents passed away many years ago. Though living a poor life, John's grandmother looked after him well. So John studied hard to live up to his grandmother's expectation. Suddenly, I sensed maybe John was in need. So I asked Mike if he was willing to accompany me to John's house. To find out the truth, I decided to pay a visit to his family. Mike agreed and we set out without delay. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When the door was open, John was surprised at our arrival. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the truth was discovered, we decided to take action. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When the door was open, John was surprised at our arrival. He was rooted on the ground, with the mouth wide open. He invited us into the house, which we found was messy with clothes here and there. The ground was dirty and the bowls were piled in the kitchen. It turned out that his grandmother broke her leg and had no choice but to stay in bed for 3 months. So John not only took responsibility for household but looked after his grandmother day and night. So he was so busy that he ignored his study and Mike. After the truth was discovered, we decided to take action. I gained John's permission to share his situation with other students. Then we divided some groups to help John with the housework after school. Mike even lived in John's house to offer help whenever necessary. With our help, everything was back on track. John went to class on time and could finish his exercises again. John was so grateful that he couldn't help shedding tears. I was also proud of my students because they were willing to spare their time to offer help when they were busy preparing for an important exam. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者发现了约翰的各种反常举动，作者感觉到约翰可能需要帮助。所以作者问迈克是否愿意陪自己去约翰家。为了查明真相，作者决定去拜访约翰的家人。迈克同意了，他们立即出发了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“门打开时，约翰对我们的到来感到惊讶。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到了约翰的家境和反常的原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“真相被发现后，我们决定采取行动”可知，第二段可描写作者和同学们一起帮助了约翰使得约翰回归了正常的状态以及为学生们感到骄傲。 2.续写线索：家访——发现原因——师生帮助——回归正常状态——为学生们感到骄傲 3词汇激活 行为类 照顾：look after /take care of 完成：finish/complete 帮助：help /assist 提供：offer/provide 情绪类 以…为自豪：be proud of/take pride in\ 感激的：grateful/appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1] John was so grateful that he couldn't help shedding tears.

Before the flowers are in full blossom, here is a collection of ancient Chinese poems picturing the revival of life during spring. The English translations used in this article are from Chinese translator Xu Yuanchong’s editions. Spring Morning — by Meng Haoran (689-740) of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) This spring morning in bed I’m lying, Not to awake till birds are crying. After one night of wind and showers, How many are the fallen flowers? Written in a Village South of the Capital — by Cui Hu (772-846) of the Tang Dynasty In this house on this day last year, a pink face vied In beauty with the pink peach blossoms side by side. I do not know today where the pink face has gone; In the vernal breeze still smile pink peach blossoms full-blown. Happy Rain on a Spring Night (Excerpts) — by Du Fu (712-770) of the Tang Dynasty Good rain knows its time right; It will fall when comes spring. With wind it steals in night; Mute, it moistens each thing. Dreaming of the Southern Shore — by Bai Juyi (772-846) of the Tang Dynasty Fair Southern shore, With scenes I adore. At sunrise riverside flowers redder than fire, In spring green waves grow as blue as sapphire, Which I can’t but admire. Love Seeds — by Wang Wei (701-761) of the Tang Dynasty Red berries grow in the southern land, How many load in spring the trees? Gather them till full is your hand; They would revive fond memories. 21. What can we learn about the poets? A. Meng Haoran lived longer than other poets. B. Both Cui Hu and Bai Juyi died at the same age. C. All of the poets were not from the Tang Dynasty. D. Cui Hu wrote a poem highlighting the color green. 22. Which one of the poems mentions the scene along a river? A. Love Seeds. B. Happy Rain on a Spring Night. C. Dreaming of the Southern Shore. D. Written in a Village South of the Capital. 23. Which season are the poems probably talking about? A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Autumn. D. Winter. B Emily, a 14-year-old teenager, walked through her town one afternoon. Her eyes were drawn to the sight of people without homes on street corners, trembling (颤抖) against the chill. It was a scene that stirred something deep within her — a desire to make a difference, no matter how small. Emily decided to turn her love of baking into a force for good. She whipped (搅打) cream, mixed flour, and baked cookies and cakes in her family kitchen. With the support of her friends and family, she set up a colorful stall in her bustling neighborhood, offering her homemade treats to passersby in exchange for donations. The response was overwhelming. People were not only touched by Emily's handmade cookies but also inspired by her spirit. Before long, donations were pouring in. In just a few short weeks, Emily had raised over $1,000 — a symbol of one's kindness to ignite a community's generosity. But Emily's heart was set on doing even more. Inspired by the success of her bake sale, she came up with the idea of organizing a charity run. A community-wide event that would bring people together in support of a common cause. She reached out to local businesses and called for volunteers to help her realize the project. On the day of the charity run, participants ran under the clear, open sky, and the running campaign raised over $5,000 for the local homeless shelter. For Emily, the true reward lay not in the dollars raised or the miles run but in the knowledge that she had touched the hearts of her community and shown that even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference to the world. 24. What can we learn from the text? A. Emily offered the homeless treats for free. B. Emily raised $5,000 from her bake sale. C. Emily received support from local businesses. D. Emily's charity run was held in an indoor gym. 25. What motivated Emily to organize a charity run? A. The success of her bakery sale. B. The inspiration from her family. C. The encouragement from her neighbors. D. Her passion for running. 26. Which of the following can best describe Emily? A. Kind and active. B. Energetic and creative. C. Smart and ambitious. D. Happy and generous. 27. What is the best title of the text? A. Community Together: Many Hands, Light Work B. Sweet Victory: Emily's Bake Sale Success C. Light in Darkness: Emily's Run to Help D. Spreading Goodness: Emily's Charitable Acts C Most people suffer from “just-me-ism”. What is that? Well, say you leave the tap running while brushing your teeth, or you drop a piece of litter and can ’t be bothered to pick it up. You know all those things are wrong, but so what? “What difference can it possibly make?” you say to yourself. “There are millions of people in the world and I’m just me.” But just think of all the millions of people saying to themselves, “It doesn’t matter, it’s just me.” Millions of gallons of water would be wasted; millions of pieces of litter would be dropped. And all of this would be very harmful. To inspire young people to take action for the environment, animals and their community, Roots & Shoots was established in the early 1990s by Dr. Jane Goodall, a world’s well-known environmental scientist. Besides her research, she has been whole-heartedly committed to environmental protection. The organisation is called Roots & Shoots because roots move slowly under the ground to make a firm foundation, and shoots seem small and weak, but they can break open brick walls to reach the light. The roots and shoots are you, your friends and young people all around the world. Hundreds and thousands of roots and shoots can solve the problems, change the world and make it a better place to live in. Do you think you help to make the world a better place when you make a sad person smile, when you make a dog wag its tail, and when you water a thirsty plant? One cheered-up person, one happy dog, one flowering plant, and you. That’s what Roots & Shoots is all about. Dr.Jane Goodall believes that the most important thing is that every individual matters. You get to choose: Do you want to make the world a better place? Do you want to make Roots & Shoots rooted in everyone’s heart? Do you want to be part of a community for a shared future? You cannot be absent. 28. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The reasons for “just-me-ism”. B. The negative effects of “just-me-ism”. C. The definition of “just-me-ism”.

D An obstacle usually refers to a difficulty or problem that prevents you from achieving something. Whether it was in your past, or you’re presently facing an obstacle, you have to resolve it. Some people avoid obstacles or deny their existence. Others let obstacles control them, and they feel defeated. Your attitude towards obstacles will define the outcome of whether you rise from the challenge, or remain stuck in it. Here are some more great things to love about obstacles. First, obstacles give you purposes. Sometimes obstacles can reset your goals. You might have always had a particular way of doing things, or wanted to pursue certain goals; but when you’re faced with setbacks or difficulties, you’re forced to re-think, and re-examine your path. You may end up focusing on something new and exciting. Or, you may concentrate on something that you otherwise wouldn’t have if not for the particular setback. By having to overcome an obstacle, you’ll be fulfilling a purpose, rather than just going through the motions. Second, obstacles prepare you for the unexpected. Obstacles serve as guides for where to go next. Even though obstacles can bring out many negative emotions in us, such as frustration, anger, or sadness, it’s important to realize that they don’t stop you from reaching your intended goals. Instead, they, in a way, give you time to stop and think if perhaps there is a new and better path to take and what you can prepare for what will happen along the way. Obstacles shift your perspective. Obstacles whether you like them or not are unavoidable. Life will never stop throwing you new obstacles. So, the best thing to do is know how to better see and address these obstacles, and transform them into opportunities for self-improvement. The more you’re able to see obstacles as being an advantage to your life, the better you’ll be at managing them. Accepting obstacles will be rewarding. It will make you constantly change and adapt to new situations, allowing you to grow into a better version of yourself. 32. What does the word “obstacle” in the passage probably mean? A. passion. B. adversity. C. reputation. D. expedition. 33. What determines the outcome of obstacles you face? A. Your own attitude. B. Your quick adaptation. C. Your adequate preparation. D. Your optimistic perseverance. 34 How would obstacles result in benefits? A. They prevent your negative emotions. B. They give you advantages over others. C. They make you think quickly and critically. D. They allow you to view things from new angles. 35. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Avoiding obstacles does harm to life. B. Loving obstacles benefits a lot. C. Obstacles are actually unavoidable. D. Obstacles are double-edged swords. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What is Earth Day?

I found that between classes, there were few students chatting or playing. It seemed that every student was buried in books and did exercises on and on. I knew the exam was drawing near and every student was preparing for it. Some of them even took books to the dining hall and there were others staying up studying. It was obvious that students took the exam seriously. However, John, a top student in the class, wasn't among them. He used to work harder than anyone. Now, he was not only late for class but it was also typical of him to sleep in class. When I checked his exercise books, I found all blank（空白的）. I wondered what's wrong with him. So I called him out and asked him if he had trouble with his study. He bit his lip, lowered his head but explained nothing. With puzzles increasing, I called his friend Mike into the office. Mike knew nothing about why his friend behaved so strangely. He also told me that John would be the first student to rush out of the classroom after school and refused to wait for him. And even when Mike invited John for their favorite football on weekend, John refused, saying he was busy, and hung off quickly. When I asked about John's family, Mike told me that John lived with his grandmother because his parents passed away many years ago. Though living a poor life, John's grandmother looked after him well. So John studied hard to live up to his grandmother's expectation. Suddenly, I sensed maybe John was in need. So I asked Mike if he was willing to accompany me to John's house. To find out the truth, I decided to pay a visit to his family. Mike agreed and we set out without delay. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When the door was open, John was surprised at our arrival. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the truth was discovered, we decided to take action. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
